Answer:
[tex]H = \frac{u^2}{2g} + h[/tex]
Explanation:
Let the football is kicked up vertically with some speed given as
[tex]v = v_o[/tex]
now its speed when it will reach to height "h" above the ground is given as "u"
so we will have
[tex]v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d[/tex]
here we have
[tex]u^2 - v_o^2 = 2(-g)h[/tex]
so we have
[tex]v_o^2 = u^2 + 2gh[/tex]
now we know that when football will reach to maximum height then it will have zero final velocity
So we will have
[tex]v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s[/tex]
[tex]0 - (u^2 + 2gh) = 2(-g)H[/tex]
so we have maximum height given as
[tex]H = \frac{u^2 + 2gh}{2g}[/tex]
[tex]H = \frac{u^2}{2g} + h[/tex]
